Much of what is in the Future Now project is similar to what I am advocating for in “We All Do Better” I have pledged to work with them and promote their effort. I received today the following email message from Director of Policy, Lauren Ellis:

Dear Representative Bly:

Are you looking for policy solutions that will work for you and help your constituents?

Future Now, a new, state-by-state effort founded by economist Jeffrey Sachs, entrepreneur Adam Pritzker, and former State Senator Daniel Squadron to achieve America’s Goals, will work with our Founding Signers to bridge the political divide and implement the most effective strategies to achieve America’s Goals in their states by 2030.

We hope you will join us.

Please let us know if you would like any further information on Future Now or the Pledge to Achieve America’s Goals. We look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Lauren Ellis
Director of Policy and Legal
Future Now

If you’re a policy maker I encourage you to sign on to this effort as well. There could never be a more important time to reinvest in public goods as our current President and the majorities in the House and Senate are undermining important social safety nets.

I am a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, District 20B (Northfield, Dundas, Lonsdale, Montgomery and surrounding townships.) I work to create jobs, make taxes fair, protect our schools, expand access to affordable health care, and protect our environment.
